Qobuz Users Update?


the service in the USA has been out a few months now. initial posters on this site commented on good sound quality in hi rez but a limited catalogue. I listen mostly to Jazz and Classical. Would anyone who has been a user from the get go please comment on your experience? I've been a Tidal guy for years and am fairly satisfied. Thanks to anyone taking the time to comment

I've had Qobuz for a few months now, and also subscribe to Deezer.  I dropped my Tidal subscription a few weeks after getting Qobuz - Qobuz has a better selection of classical recordings, and sound quality is generally as good or better than Tidal.  I used Tidal with a Bluesound Node 2, either through the analog outputs (MQA fully unfolded) or into a Benchmark DAC3L (MQA partially unfolded).  To me, Qobuz hi-res offerings sound as good or better than MQA (with my gear, of course).  Deezer also has good sound quality, and a better selection of older and obscure rock and jazz music than either Tidal or Qobuz.
